Most people don’t get excited over socks. I get excited if they’re cute or super comfy, which is why I’m excited today. Recently received an order from Sock Dreams, my favorite online sock retailer. They have some of the most colorful and comfy socks I have worn.
Growing up socks were these rough ugly things you wore to keep your feet warm during the three seasons that are not summer. Socks came in a variety of shades of navy blue, black, tan, or white, and rough or semi-soft. The golden toe brand socks were often the most comfortable, most other socks drove my feet crazy. As an adult I either wore dress socks or none at all, at least until I discovered Sock Dreams.
Sock Dreams had more than just soft colorful socks, they also had socks in larger sizes. Since then I have also discovered that most of the one size socks will fit a size 11, sometimes a bit tight. My favorite socks are a pair of purple and pink rainbow knee high toe socks. While they’re mostly for colder weather, they’re so cute I can wear them almost year round in Florida.
This latest order of socks includes a bunch of plain black bamboo socks, my generic go to for exercise and physical labor. Usually I buy the ankle socks, but they were out of those during the latest sale, so I bought some crew socks. I also added more rainbow socks of various heights. I am a sucker for bright, pretty, colors.
